In a thrilling encounter between India and the West Indies, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin delivered a pivotal blow by dismissing Kraigg Brathwaite with a remarkable delivery. The West Indies opener had displayed immense resilience, scoring a valiant 75 runs off 235 balls, but was undone by Ashwin’s crafty spin.
The delivery from Ashwin was an absolute gem, turning sharply to beat Brathwaite’s defense and crash into the stumps. It was a well-earned wicket for the Indian bowler, who celebrated with joy after breaking through the batter’s defense.

Brathwaite’s innings had kept the West Indies in the game, but his dismissal turned the tide in India’s favor. His patient knock included five boundaries and one six, and he faced a significant number of balls to anchor his team’s innings.
